To celebrate next week’s U.S. Open at Oakmont , Skechers is releasing a new, limited-edition golf shoe.
The Skechers GO GOLF Blade GF was designed exclusively for 2022 U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick to wear during next week’s U.S. Open, and the shoe’s design includes details that highlight both the course and the championship’s history.
The bold red, white, blue and silver color palette honors the official colors of the U.S. Open, while the shoe’s sockliner graphic features a dime from 1927 — a nod to the year the U.S. Open was first played at Oakmont (this year marks the storied course’s 10th time hosting), as well a reference to a famous quote from Sam Snead.
“I put a dime down to mark my ball,” Snead said of Oakmont’s slick greens in 1962, “and the dime slid away.”
